[FZZ]

So I was listening to The Sound of Silence and I realized the song is actually flames but that most people will never know because the intro has basically become a meme now

I'm pretty sure there's other shit people think shouldn't have become a meme.

What are some other things that you wish didn't become a meme GAF?

 

[SynthFetish]

The frog was a mistake.

 

[Princess Viola]

Everything.

 

[Santiako]

Harambe, it was an awful thing that happened and it just became dicks out meme.

 

[CyclopsRock]

When was the last time you heard the start of "Let's get it On" that wasn't a parody or punchline?

 

[sanstesy]

Everything should become a meme.

 

[oreomunsta]

Meme culture in its entirety is an unfortunate consequence of the internet

[jufonuk]

Your mum
Meme's in themselves are baffling , sometimes they are so stupid they are funny other times I find myself face palming

 

[Steamlord]

Not even internet related, but Calvin pissing on _____

Loss has transcended memehood and is now an artform.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Sad Keanu. It's not funny...

 

[hypernima]

I genuinely liked the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" before it became a meme. Now I can't listen to it without jokes.

 

[HStallion]

Rape horse from Berserk. It feels like that fucking one off monster is more well known than anything else by people who haven't touched the series.

 

[DoctorFling]

"It's a trap" from ROTJ. I have no idea why people think it's funny, but in so many Star Wars conversation one idiot will say it like it's the greatest in-joke ever. The "who shot first" thing too on that note.

 

[Sephzilla]

Harambe, it was an awful thing that happened and it just became dicks out meme.

I thought the point of the Harambe meme was to poke fun at how much the reaction to Harambe's death completely blew out of proportion

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[BossDarkseid]

All of them.

People call Winston Harambe in OW a bunch and my friend has a friend who joins our Discord occasionally and basically talks in Memes or meme-voices and its fucking annoying. Can't understand a word.

 

[Drinkel]

PC Master Race. I'm surprised how prevalent it is, even in gamedev circles. It feels like the irony in it's original context has also vanished, which makes it even more weird.

 

[blame space]

[Auctopus]

Brexit. The way that a lot of popular media/news make jokes about Marmite prices going up and everyone pretending to be outraged (Thanks Brexit = Thanks Obama etc.) but really this is just the beginning of something much worse.

 

[DoctorFling]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I kinda get that one though, it is a really silly over the top thing. The "do not want" version from the Chinese bootleg is better though.

 

[Horns]

The Putin stuff. Him riding on a horse, fighting bears, etc. Putin is a very bad person.

 

[BGBW]

Advice Dog spinoffs.

It's resulted in literally every single image macro made today to follow the same formula of:

Line 1 at the top of the image

Image that didn't even need words in the first place

Line 2 at the bottom of the image

Impact font, white text, black stroke and done.

 

[Akuun]

Trump's speech patterns.

Why would anyone want to remind people of him, or emulate anything about him?

This.

Anyone who says this unironically has made my shit list for life.

Backstroke of the West is amazing. "Mr. President, we are for the big."

"I should really feeds you all dog"

I almost killed my brother when I made him watch it, he was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.

 

[Bear Force One]

Hamrabe meme is fucking uncompassionate and mean-spirited. Anyone who uses it goes on my asshole list.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'm pretty sure I tore muscles in my sides from laughing so hard when I saw Backstroke of the West

It's a trap is wonderful don't you dare.

 

[shawnbuddy]

Real people who are mocked and bullied through memes like Jessi Slaughter or the Star Wars kid.

It says a lot about a person when they willing call themselves part of a master race. It's one thing to think that PCs are better than consoles, but it's another to be a dick about it. And I say this as a person that plays most of my games on PC.

It was just another excuse to harass the zoo's twitter account until it closed. Absolutely nothing clever about it.

Ugggh. I had to stop playing Winston because people in voice chat just would not shut up about it. It was a real shitty incident, and all the dumb "dicks out" stuff is super grating.

I thought the twitter account stuff was dumb. But I still think people missed the point of the original meme.

 

[How About No]

Everything.

The disparagement and belittlement of inflation fetish art like it's some joke. This is serious, I am not blowing this out of proportion, I can't jerk off if I know everyone is laughing at it

[thecosmicfly]

You make an argument for what you wish didn't become a meme and yet post the best example why this meme is the best.

I thought the whole idea was to blow things out of proportion.
